[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 430286, member: 3278"] [size=5]Pretty much all outboards from the Vintage era through current time have been designed to be used in a freezing environment. I know Johnson and Evinrude outboards were. There is a video of them encrusted in ice after sitting, then starting up and running. This was done during the engineering and testing phase prior to bringing the engine online for production. Today's marine specific gear lubes sold through the OEM are normally capable of ingesting, mixing, and running with no loss of protection with up to 25% water. There are drain holes in almost every casting from the tip of the skeg to the top of the powerheads that will drain water and protect the outboard's castings from freeze damage. [/size] [/QUOTE]
